This was my practice race for Boston.  Knoxville is a pretty hilly city.  I was trying to keep an 8min/mi pace to see if I could do so for Boston.  I still had some energy left at the end, but I'm not sure if I could of held the pace for a second half.  I'm also not use to the hills.  I did enjoy this race though.  Plenty of water and powerade stops.  Several bands throughout the course and a gel stop.  My boyfriend did the full, and he said there were people handing out banana slices and motrin as well.

Ran on a treadmill at a hotel.  I was in Charleston on business.  Very boring, I will have to get use to running more on a treadmill living in middle georgia in the summer.

Ran with two other people.  We took it easy since Boston is next week.  Felt pretty good, now for the easy short mileage week.
